Ding and Ding

In the matter of *Ding and Ding*, Dawe J of the Supreme Court of Victoria vacated the trial listing for the proceedings, which had been scheduled to commence on Monday, 11 April 2016, for a duration of five days. The proceedings involved a dispute between parties identified as Ding and Ding.

The primary legal issue before the court was the determination of the future conduct of the trial listing and associated procedural timelines. This involved considering whether the existing trial date should be maintained or altered, and what consequential orders were necessary to manage the case effectively.

Dawe J's reasoning led to the conclusion that the trial listing should be vacated. The court then referred the matter to the Docket Registrar. The Registrar was empowered to relist the proceedings for a future date to be determined and to make further orders concerning the filing of documents, referencing previous orders made on 28 January 2016. This approach indicated a need for revised procedural steps and a new trial schedule.
